RECORDS SHOW SUBSTANTIAL
INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT
Statement of Registrar Proves
Figures of Last Year Exceeded
It was evident that there was something of a New Deal in order at Carroll this year when the records of the
office of the registrar recently revealed that a 25 per cent increase in
enrollment over that of last year
had taken place.
Probably the most significant feature of the increased numbers is
that the percentage of last year's
students who returned this fall includes 90 per cent of the junior
class, 61 per cent of the sophomores,
and 75 per cent of the freshman

First Assembly
of Beaux Arts
Activities Ar« Reviewed and a
Program Outlined for Tear
On the evening of Wednesday, November 14, the initial meeting of the
Beaux Arts Club was held with Leo
Dougherty, the 1933-1934 vice-president, presiding. He emphasized the
fact that interest in the fine arts
was the primary purpose of the organization. In the election Mr. Dougherty was unanimously chosen president, Bruce Plummer was elected
vice-president, and Thomas Gannon
was chosen secretary-treasurer. A
committee of three was appointed to
recommend students for membership.
The club is composed of upperclassmen who are interested in the fields
of the fine arts.
Those who remember the lectures
given by Mrs. Miller, Helena, public
librarian; Monsignor Victor Day,
Rev. J. A. Major, and Andrew V.
Corry, as well as by various members themselves, anticipate with
pleasure a renewal of the activities
of the society. It is the view of the
organization that a broad cultural
background should be the proud possession of every college student.
Nor does the society spend all of its
attention on the contemplation of the
beautiful, for it possesses social aspects as well, to which last year's
banquet and ball well testify.
Y DAY OBSERVED
BY CARROLL COLLEGE
In conjunction with a national program, Navy day was observed at
Carroll college recently when the
student body gathered at a general
assembly to listen to addresses by
representatives of the navy and by
their fellow students.
With James Dowdall, president of
the student council, presiding, the
program was opened with the singing of patriotic songs, and the speakers were introduced.
James Hopkins of the U. S. naval
reserve delivered a brief address on
class. Third year men, it was further noted, came in for first ranking in regard to the increase of enrollment having a total number 45
per cent larger than last term.
AIM OF COURSES.
One explanation of these facts is
to be found in the statement of the
Rev. Paul B. Kirchen, registrar, who
said:
"In its liberal arts and pre-profes-
sional courses the college has ever
aimed to impart that general and
specific training necessary for successful work in graduate and professional schools. Beginning with
the sophomore year and continuing
(Continued on Page 3)
Graduate study has called away a
number of 1934 seniors of Carroll
according to recent correspondence
through the registrar's office.
Vincent Meyer, widely known Helena young man, has enrolled at St.
Louis University Medical School.
Meyer, who was a high ranking student during his four years here, reports the "going to be tough," but
that he is successfully meeting the
requirements.
Leo Murphy, a native of Augusta,
is aspiring to a degree in law and
has chosen Fordham university, New
York, for his higher studies.
St. Thomas Seminary, Denver, has
been the choice of Leonard Jensen,
president of the 1934 senior class.
Jensen will follow a four-year course
in preparation for the priesthood.
Joseph Laux of Lewistown, Montana, was named one of the recipients of FER A fellowships and has
gone to the University of Washington
at Seattle to pursue a six-month
course of study directed towards social service.
"The Navy as a Career." Trades
and professional training that are
offered by the navy, school facilities
at various stations, training aboard
ship and a general insight into the
opportunities afforded the young man
in the navy were treated in Hopkins
talk.
Sherman Sterrett, representative of
Carroll in thej state oratorical contest
last year, made a short speech in
which he acknowledged the service
of the navy as a national necessity
both in peace and war time, and
gave a running description of the
glamour of navy life and the attraction of the vocation of a sea soldier.
"The Arizona" was the title of an
address delivered by F. R. Sharp,
chief petty officer, U.S.N. In an interesting description Sharp portrayed
the construction of the battleship,
pointing out its numerous new features, and depicted the life of a sailor
aboard such a ship as the Arizona.

IG RETREAT
Fr. Sheerin Will Conduct Annual
Religious Function
The annual student retreat will
open tomorrow evening at 7:30
o'clock in the college chapel, it was
announced this week by the Rev. R.
Vincent Kavanagh, prefect of religion.
The exercises will extend over three
days and will be brought to a close
with High Mass and general communion by the student body on
Wednesday morning, November 28.
The retreat will be conducted by
the Rev. J. J. Sheerin, a former graduate of Carroll college and at present located at Choteau, Montana,
where with the Rev. Joseph Schulte
he is pastor of Choteau and adjoining missions. Father Sheerin received his A.B. degree from the college in 1919. He was ordained to
the priesthood in 1923, and for more
than four years was a member of the
teaching staff of Carroll.
Retreat Explained
The retreat master has been described as a man "with a background
of varied experiences, with a manly
directness of expression, and with a
fine human sympathy, well fitted to
help you make the retreat."
"A spiritual retreat is means to a
spiritual victory," Father Kavanagh
explained. "A retreat is not a rout.
Rather it is a planned withdrawal
from the heat of life's battle to better meet it on the return."
All Catholic students are required
to attend the exercises, it was announced. Lay members of the faculty and non-Catholic students are
invited to attend.
ELECT FR.
WEBER NEW CHAPLAIN
The Helena Council of the Knights
of Columbus recently held their annual election of officers. Rev. M. A.

been very active in that body. Fr.
Weber has presented three programs
at the regular meetings of the
knights; one on liturgical music, another on popular and semi-classical
selections by Carroll musicians, and
a third to a joint meeting of Helena
and Great Falls members held in
Great Falls. In the near future Dr.

college, will lecture upon "The Catholic Doctor," at a meeting of the
knights.
CLASS OFFICERS
At a meeting of the freshman class
shortly after the opening of the
school year group officers and representatives to the student council

the freshmen activities during the
coming year.

botanical sciences, engineering, medical sciences, agriculture, education,
social and economic sciences, historical and philological sciences, and anthropology. Its activities are of
three kinds—those related to the
holding of the annual and other meetings, those related to publications,
and those related to the advancement
of knowledge by research. Grants are
made annually to individuals or to
scientific organizations to promote
research.
One of Dr. Neuman's recently published papers, written in conjunction

The large increase in the class
